Product Description

The Tamron 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is a compact ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Offering a versatile 16–30mm focal-length range and a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, it is ideal for capturing expansive landscapes, architecture, interiors, travel scenes, and creative video content.

Its advanced optical construction incorporates specialised lens elements to help control chromatic aberrations and maintain high image quality throughout the zoom range.

The lens also features BBAR-G2 coating to help reduce flare and ghosting, close-focusing capability for creative wide-angle compositions, and a compact, lightweight design.
